to every man upon this earth death cometh soon or late and how can man die better than facing fearful odds for the ashes of his Father and the temple of his God

If you like @GrassFedBitcoin’s proposal, at this point the best way to have your voice heard is to visit the PR on GitHub and “concept ACK” the proposal or add a reaction to the submission. You can find it, and several other proposals here

Scamcoins ARE automatically hostile to Bitcoin. They cheat people, and make Bitcoin look bad by association and affinity fraud. Anyone dealing in scamcoins is not a friend to Bitcoin.

What is there Bitcoin consensus on? (Future proposals like rolling 45-day aside)
THIS IS NOT YOUR OPINION, just what you observe the community at large supporting.

One way to think of bitcoin was in human years. At 17 yrs a teenager. But given the events of bip-110, maybe a better framing is the sha-256 lifespan was the gestation phase, bip-110 the labor, and the pow change was its birth into the world, now a fragile and beautiful potential of what it can be, and those of us providing care in this phase of its life are insanely protective of it, willing to kill SV1 mining for its long term strength and well being.

This is false, but _even if_ it were true, it sounds exactly like what Satoshi did in 2009
We have to fight for bitcoin relentlessly. If only a small group of people are willing to do that, I'm going to be part of that small group, over the big group of sheep walking into a CBDC

Taleb writes the foreword to The Bitcoin Standard. Taleb then simps for COVID authorities and sells out. Saif gets mad. Saif is cool until the cold card hack. Then Saif simps for Saylor.
When Taleb sold out I always had a feeling that Saif would eventually sell out too

Back when ASICs were first being announced, we planned to PoW change if it centralised. We should go back to that plan, and repeat as needed

SPAM INSTITUTIONS AND BIP110
Some of you think that BIP110 was rejected by the miners for various false reasons. Let me demonstrate the real reason why BIP110 was rejected.
To the left, we see 3 of 6 the big hasher pools that control over 90% of the network. When you look into who owns who, it's really more like 2 pools.
The blocks of those pools are all 100% full, while the blocks of the smaller pools on the right at not always full.
One of the reasons for this is that the spammers have entered into an agreement with the hasher cartel to bypass the policies and fill every empty block space with spam, all at a very low fee. On the right, red shows the empty section of blocks.
As a result of this, spam now takes up half of block space, and they pay 4x less than monetary users for the same block space.
This is why BIP110 was ignored. The spammers and the hasher pools got together behind closed doors and decided they run the show now.
